 I have no idea. Feel free to investigate.

 If we do deprecate libtool on target, then this patch is no longer
needed to fix the autobuild issue. However, perhaps it would still be
considered a cleaner way to handle things?

 Or perhaps another cleaner way is to use

touch -t 201110171216 $(@D)/libltdl/m4/libtool.m4

in a post-patch hook. The -t option is POSIX so it should be OK to use.
There are actually many more places where we could use that.


 Regards,
 Arnout
